(((Lynn & daughter)))
The situation you describe existed long before facebook. I've attempted to use the advice that I'm about to give you, but my daughter had to learn the hard way. In my daughter's case the instigator was 28 for crying out loud and the incident resulted in a six year friendship being destroyed and a crazy person harrassing her for months.
I don't know what it is about teen girls and manipulations. The "mediator" usually gets the the short end of the stick. Girl A and Girl B are not getting along. Girl C attempts to be the peace maker and this usually results in both A and B turning on her. Girl A and B become bff's and Girl C is the one with all the hard feelings, a comment is taken out of context (at least with FB it's all in writing, but we all know that this is a precarious medium at best) and suddenly she's the bad guy.
I know it's hard to see someone treating a friend poorly, but a third party rarely has all the information out there. The best thing I think is to be supportive but not get involved in the minor stuff.
